Bookmarker's Notes
A fic that made me lose 90 minutes without realizing it (and then I had to go to sleep with it unfinished).
Wonderful character study that blends the chaotic joy of the 90s Young Justice run with later versions of the characters. Tim Drake is my Robin, and this story of his late teens as seen from his family is well-crafted. The author lets all of the characters (point of view and appearing) be wrong, traumatized, recovering from trauma, and not entirely great at communicating, without doing the fanfic "magic wand everything is fixed by the end" trick (don't get me wrong, I love that sometimes. But this version of growth is so real and so good).
Extra kudos for the amazing notes at the end of each chapter which expand on canon, fanon, and headcanon lore.

Summary
The second Robin's introduction to the Team is disrupted by the sudden appearance of two young men from another world. That would be enough to make Batman invested, but when he finds out one of them used to be a Robin, there's no holding him back.
Tim and Kon are doing their best to settle into the new world where everyone seems just that little bit lighter and softer. It's not easy, particularly as Tim deals with the aftermath of devastating injuries, but being surrounded by loving family and friends makes things easier.
If along the way they can prevent a few tragedies and bring home some siblings, all the better.

Summary
Tim is an independent, clever, and super mature eleven-year-old. Unfortunately, his dopey neighbor, Bruce, can’t seem to understand that.
When he decides to disappear on a “solo camping trip” and run away to Canada, he figures it’s the perfect plan that will make everybody happy. He didn’t expect the Waynes would tag along with him and ruin everything.
A six-chaptered tale filled with identity shenanigans, s’mores, soon-to-be-brothers, and a kid who is in desperate need of a new family.

Summary
Jason is having a hell of a time trying to find his Replacement. Sure, he’s got a name from Talia: Timothy Drake. And he’s looked up the kid’s school records: perfect everything. Perfect grades. Perfect attendance. His school photo shows perfectly slicked-back hair and not one wrinkle on his Gotham Academy jacket. Wow, Bruce really won the lottery with his newest child soldier.
Infuriating.
Jason tries to do a little hate-stalking, but that’s where things go a bit weird. Timothy Drake has his own fuckin’ mansion right next to Bruce’s, but when he swings by Drake Manor, it’s oddly empty and devoid of life. Weird. Jason tracks down a penthouse in the Diamond District, but it seems to be falsified records because there’s a whole different rich guy living there.
What the fuck. Where does the Replacement go when he’s not Robin?
---------
Jason is having a hard time finding Tim Drake, but he's been running into a kid by the name of Alvin Draper in the Alley.
In the meantime, Tim Drake totally has 5-step plan to get Jason and Bruce to reconcile! Nothing will go wrong. :P

Summary
Onscreen, the reporter does the typical introduction spiel, then turns to the party crasher. “You and your associates have been remarkably candid about who you are while you’ve crashed galas all over the tri-state area tonight, but would you introduce yourselves one more time, this time for the record?”
The party crasher grins, bright and mischievous, but there’s a glint in his eyes that makes some part of Bruce think predator. “Sure thing! I’m Jason Todd-Wayne, and me and the others are Bruce Wayne’s gaggle of bastard children.”
Bruce chokes.

Thanks to a magician landing a lucky shot, all memory of the Batkids gets erased from the world.
They decide to make it absolutely everyone’s problem.
